Silver White Winters That Melt Into Spring...

(Now all together...These are a few of my favorite thiiiiings!)

Well hello there gorgeous! It's been a couple months and I am ready to get back into the swing of things! The past couple months have been crazy with babies, weddings, and honestly spending some time on me. 

You may have noticed by my last few Instagram posts that I have "freshened" up my look a little bit! As I head into 25 in a little over a month I felt I needed a little change! So here I am! 

So for my first blog post back I am going to do a favorites. Rather than do a monthly favorites I'm doing a quarter favorites! Maybe I will do better and have a monthly favorites from now on!! 


Ya I have a TON to talk about! 

First and foremost is the tray! I die! I got this at target just this week for around $15. I wanted one to put on my bed for decoration/days I just wanna lay in bed and eat there and binge watch Netflix. Wait what? 

Next is the floral arrangement! I scored this cute little thing at TJ for around $10! I thought this would be adorable on the tray! 

Those earrings. I'm in absolute love and I got them on clearance at target for close to nothing! If only everything we loved came that easily!! 

My spirit animal is Mindy Kaling according to people who know my sarcastic nature. So obviously I had to pick up her book. I'm about 50 pages in and I love! It's so so cute! 

Next are subscriptions. I seriously will eat starkist tuna for lunch so I can keep getting these. I always cancel thinking "I could use that $20 on so so much!" And 3 weeks later I'm back to subscribing! Birchbox was actually about to get the boot because my last several have been blah! However, this month has completely resurrected my faith in them. I have never had a bag or box that I loved so much!! I'll do a post on both of this months subscriptions because they were THAT GOOD! 




Lastly I'm touching on makeup. I should probably do a whole post on this alone. These are the products I can't leave the house without them on or in my bag! These are the gems I'm completely obsessing over! 

     -Younique Lashes! ZOMG!! I was so skeptical over these. A few people I trust had tried them and weren't crazy about them. I finally bit the bullet and haven't looked back! I always coat one coat with my fav mascara and then put 2-3 coats of Younique on! I get compliments on my lashes every time I wear this stuff! It's phenom! 
     -ELF baked eyeshadow in California. These are super pigmented, so shiny, and absolutely perfect! I loved this one so much I went and bought the other 3 palettes today! I'm hoping to love them just as much! 
     -Lipsticks-Avon in Hot Pink and Maybelline in Peach Poppy! These are my go-tos right now! The Hot Pink is, well, hot pink! What better way to welcome the warm weather. The peach poppy is one that is perfect for just perking up your lips. It's so close to my natural lip color but with just a springy pop! 
     -The Balm Read my Lips in "BAM!" I love this because it layers perfectly on top of any lipstick I have tried AND it's even perfect by itself! Let's be real some days I'm good to get some BB cream and lip gloss on! 
     -Sonia Kashuk lip liner in Nude 01-I love this and call this my lazy girl liner because I never have to worry about which lipstick I am going to need to match a liner to. I can just keep this in my bag and it works with whatever lip I want to rock that day! 
     -Chloe parfum, so this isn't makeup but it was in the pic so just go with it! Ha! I wasn't so crazy about this when I first got it. Everyone was obsessing over it but I just couldn't. That is until I put it on. When it had been on for about 5 minutes I swear it smelled completely different. I am in love with this. Now I will say Nirvana Black is still my favorite but I like this more than Nirvana White now! I didn't know that was possible! 


Last of all, this past weekend was so very special as one of my very first friends (our moms were pregnant and worked out together!) got married!! It was the first time in a few years we had all been together! Such a special time!! So here are a couple pics from that! 
(Wearing my Younique lashes, Stila eyeliner, and The Balm lipgloss here!)

That's all for now beauties! 
XOXO,
